BB interferes every year. This year just looks worse because of the AP twist.

I think a new rule of thumb is, whoever Zach aligns himself with is doomed.

Well Danielle has said the the diary room was what first made her suspicious of Eric from what they said, so if they are influencing things, they are doing it on both sides. And this isn't anything new as we have thought they did for years.

Actually, how would the DR suggesting she keep Eric have much impact if that was what she intended to do anyway, no matter what her motive was? And as of last count last night, that was still her intention.

I think Dustin is playing a good game...when he was so quick to turn on Eric and make a deal with D/D it didn't seem right to me (like maybe he was already thinking ahead about flipping things).

BB is just as an important player as anyone else...the producers need their storylines to keep the audience interested, and will go as far as they can to keep them that's legal. (like no matter who goes tonight, someone will be betrayed, so the next week will be the fallout). So they may lead DR conversations about a certain topic, or slant HOH or POV comps toward players to keep them in. (This comes from season 1 to a point....the home audience had the power to evict, and they got rid of the big storylines the producers could use early on. The result was the 2nd half of the season was pleaseant in the house, but boring for the viewers, and it almost killed the show here. That's why they have the HG's do everything pretty much now- so no matter what, it's fireworks most of the time)

I love that Zach and Jen were the only ones who called Eric on his stuff. They made him speechless for a millasencond. I can't remember what was said last night when Dustin was in the hottub and Jen came back with something that not only made him shut-up, but put a major scowl on his face. There's a pic of him in screen caps sitting in the hot tub, totally pissed that he was stopped short with one little comment.

how do they know eric isn't kicking them out???? Because just like you I am privy to seeing all the different conversations, how Eric interacts with different people, what he has and has not done.. and it is pretty clear he would not turn on any of those in his group before they took of the other people that need to be taken care of... Please explain to me what he has done to make you think he would do otherwise. Was he in an alliance with Carole? Was he in an alliance with Joe? Was he in an alliance with Mike? Exactly when and where has Eric given any hint or indication he would do any of those things. Has he ever hinted to anyone in the house he would go after any of those people before they got rid of everyone else? It is amazing the kinds of imaginary behavior people heap on Eric. Like he has done all these horrible things in the house. It would be one thing if he was walking around saying "I will take care of Dustin soon enough." But he never says anything like that, nor does anything to support that. You can't say because Eric lied about the votes he cast for AP, it means he will throw his alliance mates under the bus. That doesn't make any sense.

Really...why are we all believing what Amber said about the people in the DR? When was the last time she told the truth in this house? My bet is they simply asked leading questions like EVERY reality show does...and she got scared and ran to Dustin. I believe Dustin was more influential in getting Amber's vote than the DR. I don't think he ever wanted to vote Eric out bc he is smart and realizes he would be screwed if Eric left. He managed to get Amber back on his side. I don't really think the DR had anything to do with it.

BB wants their AP in the game as much as they want Dick and Daniele in the game. BB wants the AP in the game to increase the revenues they receive from text messaging votes and online advertising votes. BB also wants the Dick/Daniele against the odds storyline because America has been eating it up since day one. As long as we keep watching and voting BB/CBS could care less about what feed watchers think about producers influencing the outcome of the game.

Sorry Milosmom--I just laugh when I read these posts about ----"If they do that I will never watch again.........." Yeah right......we are all crack addicts about this show. We CAN'T stop.

I think a new rule of thumb is, whoever Zach aligns himself with is doomed. You know what.. the ZachCurse may very well exist. Everything was fine until Zach committed himself directly to Kail. Then all of a sudden the whole game got Zached.

I am still waiting for someone to tell me why it would be a better strategic move for Dustin, Jameka, Jessica or Amber to keep Kail over Eric.

At 1ish n the morning when the story had broken about Amber's remarke I said then BB would make sure Eric stayed to save themselves the controversy. For me personally this goes beyond the normal DR stuff. When Amber came out of the DR a whole different energy was around her- you could tell right then what had happened. I actually will be pleased either way- for my teams game would have liked Eric to go, but like having a vote in jury house, and yee haw- Kail who will be gone! The opinion of others is not necessarily whining. I am simply disgusted by gross manipulation of the game of this kind.

Has eric lied about his votes? Nope. I can hear you yelling, "YES HE HAS!" right now. But think about it. Eric has never cast a vote. Let that sink in. Think about Eric in the DR during the live votes. Think about what Julie says to him. It's usually like this, "Eric, we know America has chosen who your vote is being cast for, so how has your week been?" You see, ERIC hasn't voted at all; AMERICA has. He has not been given a choice about who his vote goes to. If he was ADVISED to vote for one person or another and then chose not to follow that advice, then yes, he'd be lying about his votes. But that's simply not the case. AMERICA has been casting the wonky votes. ERIC hasn't been voting AT ALL, so therefore he's not lying about his votes. Hmmmmm...

I have always liked Eric, but I sure don't want him to get an unfair advantage. If they manipulate the game this week and get away with it, they will interfere every week. I want to see how the houseguests get themselves out of the corners their painted in. That's the best part of the game for me. I like the real strategies.

because with Keeping Kail, they have 6 people in numbers (possibly 7 with Zach) to get rid of other targets before they go after each other... Keeping eric dwindles their numbers...none of the Dustin, Amber, Jameka, Jess crew wants HOH.....so why Tick off peopel you can have in your group by keeping someone you know HAS lied to you?

I wouldn't be surprised in the least that they have told Eric if he survives this to make a deal with D/D. The perfect place for Eric at the end is himself, Dick and Jen. The three of them have created the most stir from the audience and it makes for really good tv. It would be in his best interest to go to the end with Dick. At this point the two most hated in the house. Amber is just sailing along behind Dustin and they all know it. She is actually screwing up his game and I think he will kick her to the curb before long because she makes his job too hard.

Marksman, you may be waiting a while for an answer. It would be a game losing move for Dustin, Jameka, Jessica and Amber to vote out Eric.

You know whats so "funny" about Amber going ballistic on Eric for her "secret", is the fact that millions of people now know her secret from her mouth and not from Eric's. Sigh......I hope she doesn't cry when she comes out of the house and gets a reality check. I have this "premonitionary" feeling that her alleged "boyfriend" is history in the making anyways. That aside, (again I say I am not pro-life), but geesh 4 abortions at her age??? and one child. That would be like 5 kids before 27 years old. That's a whole lotta baby making going on without any birth control.

I suspect that they just called Amber to task about the racial stuff and suggested that she not do it anymore. If there was more to it she would be more upset than just to say she had gotten into big trouble. I doubt that they told her it was a big story on the outside. Like Missy said if they don't tell a HG that she has a family member missing in the trade towers, they are not going to tell about an adverse news story. Besides why would the do that? They have to love how she has become big news. Why would they want to stifle someone who brings in viewers? Aside from the racial comments of course.
